no probs - mr carr deserves some recognition. whatever happened to
digital soul, is stewart still on the list? i think i still have all
the releases from that label, somewhere. remember a killer duplex
remix on one of 12"s.

Yeah sometimes he just comes out with great track selection, and
that's really all I ask for really. Luckily for me every time I've
seen him over the past 10 years he's played some great tracks. Most
recently in Sydney (last year at the Marrickville bowling club) he
even mixed pretty damn well as well as having a good selection. So I
think it really depends on the club, and the style. Don't write him
off.

Greetings people, I'm very happy to hear people talking about these labels.

I will second the recommendations Quintessentials, Sushitech, Uzuri,
Third Ear, and all the stuff associated with Qu, Fred-P, Jus Ed, and
Levon Vincent (Underground Quality, but also Soul People Music, and
Strength Music Recordings)... Smallville and Dial are nice as well.

There are also definitely some good things happening with deeper
sounds in Chicago, Hakim Murphy, Specter, Chicago Skyway, and Steven
Tang definitely come to mind. It is a little weird because Chi is so
segregated I only learned that these guys were here making solid music

Aiden, John,

Funny you sent this today, the same day I received 5 of the Sistrum back 
catalogue thru a discogs seller (happy deep days!) Yes,   become one of my 
favourite labels in the last couple of years and now Im back in to vinyl im 
trying to get all the good stuff.  Im also a big collector of KW's 
Aesthetic Audio.Both labels to to cater for my deep/dub techno and deep 
house tastes,  evidently merging the two styles effortlessy.Aesthetic 
perhaps a bit more of  tech-house vibe and more melodic.

In my experience the 2nd hand prices on discogs reflect the quality of the 
releases.   But a few personal picks here:

Sistrum:

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Underground-Anthems-EP-Vol-1/release/981199 
(essential)

http://www.discogs.com/Patrice-Scott-Excursions-EP/release/1793874

Great shout on Altered Moods John, another favourite and i know they have a 
slew of new great releases over the coming months.Steve Tang, Specter, 
Matthew Wieck, Malcolm Moore and a few new artists too.

This are  my pick of the released stuff

http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Pancake-Sessions/release/1545222
http://www.discogs.com/2DeepSoul-The-Deepness/release/2720300


A few other labels on a similar vibe for me are

Fred P's:  Soul People Music
Uzuri
Third Ear
Soul People Music
Ethereal Sound
Quintessentials

ive also become a follower of Anton Zap who's putting out stuff across various 
labels.   the Anton Zap EP on UQ and I Get No Kick From Champagne are 
recommended!

also check out new Russian Label Rawax

I cant really comment on DL's   but have sourced a bit of this stuff through

patrice scott's sistrum label is one that i've not paid too much
